D /B /C /C#
[Verse 1]
D Em
No I don't think it's odd to stand before god
A7 G D
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
D Em
And I don't think it's weird when the one thing you fear
A7 G D Dm7
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
[Chorus]
G A7
Well I don't think it's strange, I don't think it's insane
E
It turns the world around
A7
While the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
D G D
To California, where the warm sun shines
G D
California, hear the windblown chimes
/D# Em A7 D
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today
D /B /C /C#
[Verse 2]
D Em
True love in you heart, like a flame in the dark
A7 G D
May you have, may you hold, 'til death do you part
D Em
'Cause two of a kind, it ain't easy to find
A7 G D Dm7
Comin' out of the blue, being lead by the blind
[Chorus]
G A7
It don't take much to see that what's meant to be
E
Is right in front of me
A7
And the birds keep singing, and the bells keep ringin',
And the heart keeps bringin' you home
D G D
To California, where the warm sun shines
G D
California, hear the windblown chimes
/D# Em A7 D
Californ-i-a, though you're far away, your love is here today

We're sittin' on a real celebration
F#m Bm
Thank heavens what a fine situation

Shoot the cannon, blow the horn
A7 D
Love is born in California
